On Thursday, August 12, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr., found that the FEC acted "contrary to law" in dismissing a complaint claiming that the CPD is a partisan organization and, therefore, ineligible under federal election law to sponsor presidential debates. (A copy of the decision can be found at http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/04-731.pdf) "This ruling casts a dark cloud over the legitimacy of the CPD to sponsor the upcoming 2004 debates," said Jason Adkins, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs. "It is time for the CPD to step aside and allow a truly non- partisan organization sponsor the national presidential debates in accordance with federal law."
